BULL-FROGS FOR FOOD.
How They Are Caught in the Marshes
and About Chicago.

How They Are Caught in the Marshes In
and About Chicago.
A rare and dainty dish is that of the
batrach;an reptile, commonly known as
the bull-frog, says the Chicago Mail. The
pathos of his voice comes up from every
inland pond with varied intensity of
sound. He is natures deceptive ventrilo-
quist-for he can throw his voice at will
Aristophanes signifed him long ago by
his comedy of Frogs" in the chorus of
which he is made to sing "brekekekex
koax koaxw To Galvani and Volta the
sensibility of his muscles to galvanic cur
rents served in the most important discov-
cries of electricity. To Faraday it indi-
Gated the greatest results in the physiology
of the nervous system; and to Day it
brought out the finest solutions in the
chemical constitution of bodies--but more
than that, he has become an almost uni
versal favorite for food, and is sought for
by the eater of the most luxurious taste.
Therefore, his plaintive eyes blink at
you from every restaurant pond, a cruel
exposure of one who loves so much the re-
treats of solitude. He is found mostly in
stagnart and sluggish waters, but also in
creeks. The inland dams are full of them
After he has thoroughly awakened and
fattened out of his winter torpitude the
fisherman finds him good game from June
to the last of July.
The simplest method to secure him Is to
use a common gig-light and the bare
hand. A frog is attracted and charme
by light. He will swim to land toward a
torch. At night he rests on the tangled
edges of the water, about a foot within,
but always with head toward his destina-
ton. You must not reach for him from the
rear, but always catch him by the head.
This sport can be continued up to two
O'Clock, but after midnight his dolorous
cries have ceased. You must then find
him by accident.
The red flannel catch is adapted to day
as well as night sport. Any thing red
pleases the frogs fancy. Three hooks ad-
justed to line, half hid by the flannel,
and slowly let down within near reach of
the frog, will induce him to leap for the OBJ
ject, and a simultaneous jerk of the rod
will catch the game. A more scientific
arrangement is to take four hooks of two
foot lines, arrange them around a cork
with a string, bring the four lines to-
gether into a knot above and affix to a rod.
A clover head plucked from the field and
strung to the cork and then let down to the
view of the game will make a sure catch
evey time. A fisherman will deem it good
luck when he can blow out his light over a
bag of one hundred and fifty frogs, and he
will say of some that they are large when
they measure eighteen inches.

Young Lady's Embarrassing Adventure
In a Sleeping Car.
This sleeping-car incident is sent to tho
Philadelphia american by a young lady:
81 was travelling alone between two cities,
and the rules of the sleeping car forbade
any one person to monopolize a whole Sec
tion-to my disgust. So bribed the por-
ter to put up the upper berth Immediately
after the inspector passed through the car,
because it was very warm. Awakening in
the night with sitting sensation, found
the upper berth down. Surprising the por-
tor had forgotten bis promise to put it up,
rose quietly in my berth, put my strong
young head against the bottom of the up
per one, and with two vigorous pushes,
shut IL up tight. Immediately, to my hor-
ror, muHled calls and cries came
from the roof. Half bewildered, /
put my head out and beckoped the
porter to me. As he reached the spot the
noise and my face told him the situation
and he gasped: Good laws, miss, der's a
man in darp An instant released the pris-
oner, who was nearly suffocated. Morti-
fed beyond expression 1 slipped out on
hour later and arranged with the porter to
ask gentleman on the opposite side to ex

room. SO when Itook my place it was as a
lady just getting on the train. The porter

would tell; and all day long heard that
story told, over and over, to every new
conner, with bursts of laughter, none more
amused than the victim. with burning
ears heard him say: "I would give one
hundred dollars to see the girl who did it,
donot fancy any one suspected, although
just as we drew near my journeys end I
fancied it possible that the porter had
earned an extra fee, because the story was
not told any more, and caught two or

TWO MIGHTY HUNTERS.


uOrrifying Adventures of n Couple of
Youths Who Found Zig Game.
Two Sacramento "dudc hunters" went
D. Shasta, Cal, according TO the Courier
OF that city, armed with Winchesters and
supplied with tent and hunting outfit.
They employed n guide and directed
him 20 take them to good fishing,
and especially v here the "hear and Cali
fornia lions were thick" as they proposed
10 eXtcrminatc a lot of these pests. The
guide complied, aud ON the afternoon of
the second day out from Shasta made
permanent" camp, and the fierce hunters
plunged boldly into tue shady forest, tell
ing the guide 90 stay and keep camp,
and 20 come with the pack horse after
boar-meat OF venisOn when he
heard rifle crack. In about two
hours he heard halloing and yclls of
"Help! help" Starting in the direction
Of the cries he soon met one Of the bold
hunters coming at full speed, haticss,
aud with eyes bulged out as
though he had been struck in the back
with asandhag. When he got wind enough
he explained that in passing through a
thickct they came upon large bear and a
cab. The cub took to q small pine and the
old bear made n move for the hunters,
growing and swapping her teeth. This So

To their heels, becoming separated in their
flight through the brush. The chap who
first made camp expressed the belief that
his companion had been overtaken by bruin
aud foully dealt with. The guide left
the exhausted nimrod to keep camp this
time and set oil to find the missing part
ncr or his remains. After travelling about
n mile his "halloo" was answered, and he
found his man about fifteen feet up a dig
ger pine, and his gun and hat were found
about fifteen yards away. The young man
said he had not seen the bear after he turn
ed 10 run, but thought il chased him. The
other gun was soon found, and on gaining
camp lac found the camp-keeper perched
on the forks Of live-oak. Night having
almost come on, they gave the guide - II

stumps and build up a fire that would

Next day the bear killers started for
Redding, procured shotgGns, anu contcnted
themselves with dove shooting-and they
~ere not very good, at that, either.

In DANNEMORA PRISON.
Daily Routine Life OF a Famous
Penal Institution.
uov c"nVicts Are Punished for Speaking
tO Zach Other While Marching to
or from Meals Clothing Made
by Prison Birds.

At present there are 737 convicts con-
hned IN Dannemora State prison, with
terms ranging from one year To- life sem
fences or the latter there are thirty five.
Upon the arrival of convict, says the
Albany IN. W Argus, he Is taken into tue
main Office, where his name, age, nativity,
etc, are asked him and placed in the
prison records. lie IL then searched and
every thing found upon him IL placed upon
table; next he is taken into another room
where he is thoroughly examined by a
physician. He II then placed in a bath
and thoroughly washed. Then comes the
prison suit, which consists first Of a heavy
shirt made OF bed-ticking, pants and coat
made Of n heavy gray material, with black
stripes, and n cap OF the same material.
The shoes are OF n heavy, durable kind
Warranted not TO crack). Arrayed in these
garments the convict Is assigned 10 his
cell, aud the next day after his arrival Is
given certain work. The clothing worn
by the convict TO the prison IL never re-
turned tO him, but when his time expires
lac Is given n suit made at the prison and
n reasonable amount Of money to
carry him to his journeys end. No news
papers are given to n convict, but oil such
sent by friends are stopped by the deputy
warden ut the Office and carefully placed
in n waste paper basket. Occasionally a
religious paper is given to them, and even
the most hardened criminal in the institu-
ton roads every word in it, not with the
intention Of receiving any spiritual benefit,
but simply that II Is a newspaper and came

They Come Whom Their Owner Rings a
Bell and Follow His Boat.
Three miles north of Springfield, No, is
a private park belonging to Colonel j. NJ.
Doing, one of the most prosperous and
wealthy of Springfield's citizens, says the
st. Louis GiOJe-DemOcrdt. In the midst of
this park is a beautiful lake covering
about three acres of ground and having an
average depth of five feet. No one is per-
mitted to angle there without the consent
of the owner, who for the past ten years
has been stocking it with game fish from
all parts of the country. The result is that
he has a lake full of the most beautiful
fish, and they have learned to know and
love him.
Not a day passes without his going to
the lake to look after his pets, and it is one
Of the prettiest sights in the world to see
him feeding the fish. He has a
platform extending into the lake
some thirty or forty feet, and only
a few inches above the surface of
the water. Going out on this platform
every morning and evening he rings a cow
bell very vigorously for few minutes,
when the water around him becomes per-
fectly alive with fish. They churn it into
foam with their antics and sports, and seem
to he literally in a whirlpool of Joy and ex-
element SO long as their friend and bene-
factor is in sight. From basket he scat
tiers bread and morsels of meat upon the
waters, and such capers as those fish then
cut it does ones soul good to see.
The German carp are the most bold and
voracious, and the black bass the most
timd. The larger portion of the number
are splendid specimens, ranging from one
to six pounds. After the feast they linger
around the platform so long as Colonel
Doing remains. If he takes a boat for a
spin across the lake, they show their APP
probation and friendship for him by fol-
lowing like 50 many dogs, proving beyond
all question that they know him. They
will respond to the ringing of the bell at

sPoRrsMEN.s PARADISE.
Charms of the Lake Region OF the Par
IsIIes on the Upper Red River.

isIIes on the Upper Red River.
Not enc OF the least important items in
the attractions and advantages Louisiana
offers TO tourists and immigrants is its rich
resources of game for the gun and rod Of
the sportsman. A writer from Shreveport
TO the Dallas (Tex.) NeIcs, enIarging on
the charms of the lake region of Caddo
and adjoining parishes on the upper Red
river, says:
ain winter ducks and fish are so plenti.
fui that the margins of the lakes have be-
come the scene of shameful slaughter,
when sportsmen, unable to control their
instincts, degenerate into killers. To the
Northern seeker after amusement, who is
not drawn to Florida in search of the
springs of perennial youth which Ponce de
Leon immortalized in fable, the quietness
and balm which hang over those lakes
when Jack Frost has closed the gates of the
North offer an irresistible charm, and the
fact of those lakes not being generally
advertised accounts for their not being
the most frequented winter-resorts in the
United States The shooting lasts from
the middle of October until April, during
which time boats of suitable size and model
can be hired at trivial cost. Ducks of
every variety and in numbers that almost
obscure the sun, when the qUacking tribe
rise between it and the observer, frequent
those lakes and can be shot at either en-
masse or in line, as the hunter may elect.
There is the canvas-back duck-without
question the finest that flies, as well as the
largest and gamest-the redhead, but little
inferior to the canvas back: the mallard,
blue and green winged teals, the wood
duck, deliciously tender; the pin-tail,
which feeds on the chincapin, and any
nth Of he he
the toughest and most hardened. OF other
birds adjacent to the lakes there are snipe,
plover, curlews, kildees, sandpipers, and
other select varieties. Here, unlike in
Florida, the hunter has not to go miles to
find an egg to make his egg-nog. Darkies'
cabins are everywhere on hand in Caddo
Parish, and there is no dnrky's cabin with
out a supply of eggs.
"The lakes swarm with fish, which readi-
ly answer to bait or fly, and so are caught
in great numbers and with but little
trouble. The most common varieties are
the cassepargard, cat and buffalo, but
there is an abundance of perch and trout
the latter might be correctly classified as
bass-which are retailed in the Shreveport
market house or shipped to other points,
and yield an estimated income of from
$4,000 to $4,000. Bass fishing is the most
exciting, and with many is considered a
more sublime amusement than baseball
playing, especially in hot weather. In
these beautiful lakes a lethargy never
falls upon the birds or fishes, and the
sportsman is invaribly the first to give
out"
This is only in one district. Every part
of the State has it's special advantages,
each distinct from the other. When the
sportsman tires of lake fishing md duck
shooting, he can go to the coast and angle
for sea fishes and shoot deer near the salt
marshes. Bear and panthers are also to

Queen vIctoria's Specs.

At the Imperial Institute cornerstone
laying, it is said, Queen Victoria used
glasses for the first time in public. Mr.
Matthews had forgotten to bring the reply
to the address, which as Home Secretary
it was his duty to draw up and hand to her
Majesty, so that she might read it at the
proper time. So when the proper time
came the document was not forthcoming,
memory a reproduction of the document
over which he scratched his head and
chewed his pen the night before. The
scrawl was too much for the Queen,
and she produced from her pocket the
small hand lenses which she uses for read

Great Chance for Girls.

"The Panhandle" and there is a town
there with the same name, and in the town
a newspaper in which appears this notice:
Wanted, immediately, one hundred single
young women who are prepared to rough

marry our thrifty young men who have
located on six hundred and forty acres of
land and are now living in dugouts, tents

A Georgia Hunter. Recor.,-

Elijah YOungblood, Of Coffee County,
Georgia, ought to be proud of his record,
as thus set forth in the Augusta Gazette:
Elijah Youngblood has killed $50 deer.
He is one OF Coffee's most successful farm
ers, and lives now on one Of the poorest
places in the county and makes plenty. Ii
is said that since 1910 eleven families have
starved on the place; but he makes plenty
and sells corn, potatoes and bacon. He
says any man who can not make a living
in this country should not live. He is six
tyrone years old, can walk all day in the
woods, and can run mile to head deer
or wildcat when he hears old Altman
bark. He has killed 30 Wildcats -
